It's strange that false positives get brought up by the same people who are talking about the high survivability rate when the false positives inflate the survivability rate.
Seventy-seven false positives out of more than 5,000 tests that week alone is a false positive rate of less than 2%. As far as lab tests go, that’s excellent. They identified the problem quickly and fixed it within the week. They had handfuls false positives throughout the season, but I’m unaware of numbers even approaching 70 again. So at worst their false positive rate was less than two percent. Which contradicts misleading claims of high false positive rates.
